Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Russian Turn 7 Group Zhuravlev



Points loss for my turn are shown in the map. Will post the VP Chart showing totals later. Most of the casualties and action happened in the south and east this turn.

I continue to fall back. I am running out of streams to slow him down. 

The 2/40th is despatched to save the 3/427th and I am forced to pull down the 644th to replace it. This leaves only the 1/40th in the north. (I labelled this 650th by mistake in my German Turn 6 map) Usually trying to save cut off units dooms the rescue units as well as the cut off units. I hope this is not the case here. 

I still have not closed the gap south of the 2/40th but hopefully he does not have anything to exploit this. I did get one break this turn and that was my artillery attack against his infantry south of my disrupted AT unit. (not labelled but its the 415th) With a bit of luck it will remain disrupted and not be able to assault.......
